Digging for clams

A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.
